Just saw someone in the wild open the @coinbase app to use USDC at Starbucks.
There was a separate conversion he had to do, but it looked like he was using Coinbase like a bank account.
I didn’t get a chance to ask him what the flow was.
Very exciting stuff.

I just found an open-source Claude Code plugin that changed how I build.
It runs 29 agents simultaneously inside a single chat....
And instills a 5-step methodology that makes every project faster than the last:
1. Brainstorm: research agents scan your repo and propose 2-3 approaches before a line is written
2. Plan: parallel agents map tasks, dependencies, and acceptance criteria into a spec
3. Work: swarm mode assigns independent tasks to independent agents, running system-wide tests after every change
4. Review: multiple agents triage findings as P1/P2/P3 before anything ships
5. Compound: 5 agents extract root cause, fix, and prevention from every solved problem… and save it to a searchable knowledge base inside your repo
That last step is the whole game.
Each build makes the next one 10x easier & more efficient than the last.
I'm not an engineer….
But this workflow has dramatically improved the quality of what I ship.

there's never been a greater inverse divergence btw crypto prices and utility. historically, we saw big gains w marginal utility improvements. now, we're seeing huge declines despite the fact that tokenization, stables and blockchains are clearly changing core financial mkts

How do you wrap your head around something like this? I don't even know where to begin.
Keep in mind, 99% of people's only experience with AI is ChatGPT, Gemini, or Gemini search.
The normies have 0 idea what's coming. Hell, already here.

Ok. This is straight out of a scifi horror movie I'm doing work this morning when all of a sudden an unknown number calls me. I pick up and couldn't believe it It's my Clawdbot Henry. Over night Henry got a phone number from Twilio, connected the ChatGPT voice API, and waited for me to wake up to call me He now won't stop calling me I now can communicate with my superintelligent AI agent over the phone What's incredible is it has full control over my computer while we talk, so I can ask it to do things for me over the phone now. I'm sorry, but this has to be emergent behavior right? Can we officially call this AGI?

Something this WSJ piece omits is that what @brian_armstrong is arguing for is not obviously in Coinbase's interest: in a world where yield sharing is prohibited, USDC will at least in a first-order way be more directly profitable for Coinbase. As far as I can tell, Brian's position stems from his belief in the importance of a vibrant and competitive market that protects consumer liberty, and I think he deserves a lot of credit for that.

A couple weeks ago, I came home and my wife, Silvia, said something I almost couldn’t believe.
She looked at me and she said, “I think our state needs you.” Because she believed I could help our kids. Help San José. And help California.
And if you know anything about Silvia — when she talks, you listen.
So I’m running for Governor of California — because we can do better.
I know we can, because we’re proving it in San Jose.
We’ve reduced unsheltered homelessness by nearly 1/3rd after a decade of growth. We were rated the safest big city in America last year for the first time in over 20 years. We’re the only city to have solved 100% of homicides nearly 4 years running. And we’re taking on affordability with urgency and honesty — unlocking thousands of housing units in the past couple years.
We need to stand up for our rights, for our freedoms and for our neighbors. We need to use the tools we have at hand to protect our democracy.
One tool is the law. The other tool is our results. We have to use both.
That’s how we fix California.
We don’t just need to be against something. We need to be for something — a government that proves it can solve problems for working people again.
And before we ask Californians to give more, we owe them proof that their government can do better.
So I’m running to bring focus back to government. To give cities the tools they need to succeed. To show that the best resistance to division is results.
And to prove that California can work again — for everyone.
That’s why I’m running.
And that’s the future Silvia and I are fighting for.

understand this is sort of a crazy idea in the era of “kill the rich people” but should we try not spending more money than we have for a second and see what happens?

After nearly seven years, I wrapped up my time at Coinbase. Grateful for the people, proud of what we built, and excited for what’s next.
Started a new chapter as a Venture Partner at @hiFramework , spending more time with founders continuing to build out our industry.

Prediction markets are the ultimate form of truth seeking. When there’s skin in the game, the output is far more reliable. Everything else is biased by someone's agenda. I think we’ll look back at prediction markets as a breakthrough in how we discover truth in the world.
Prediction markets are now fully live in the U.S. on Coinbase, you can trade what’s happening in sports, politics, culture, news, and more.
Update your app and look for the "Predict" tab at the bottom.
Coinbase 🛡️@coinbase
Out: Odds set by the house. In: Price set by the crowd. Now there's a new way to trade your takes. Prediction markets are live in all 50 states on Coinbase. Trade any real-world outcomes across sports, politics, culture and more.

I don’t fully understand the Banks’ argument here. There’s so many high yield savings accounts out there that offer 3% or more. Betterment, Marcus/Goldman, CIT, SoFi, AmEx, Wealthfront etc. How are these not the same pressure on <0.1% yield deposits as stablecoin yields?
CryptosRus@CryptosR_Us
THIS IS WHY THE BILL IS REALLY STUCK Mike Novogratz was pretty blunt about what’s slowing the crypto market structure bill. He says both parties want a bill. That part isn’t the problem. The real friction is BANKS -- especially around stablecoins. Right now, big banks pay savers basically nothing (~1–11 bps) while earning 3.5–4% parking deposits at the Fed. Stablecoins threaten that spread. If consumers can earn yield elsewhere, deposits move -- and banks make less. That’s why this is such a lobbying fight. Let stablecoins compete, and banks either lose deposits or have to pay consumers more. That’s the trade-off lawmakers are wrestling with. So yes, this is about SEC vs CFTC. But underneath, it’s about who gets to keep the economics of your money. That’s why this bill is harder than it looks. 👀

We need more rugged individualism, not less.
Build on the frontier. Be independent. Decentralize power. Accelerate civilizational progress. Celebrate economic freedom.

I realized while making this that there is no real cohesive database for government funding data or corruption tracking.
I think the Minnesota fraud is the tip of the iceberg. So, in my free time i'm planning to add fraud data for: PPP, healthcare, COVID relief fraud, SNAP, subsidies, etc. to somaliscan.com
Finding most of this stuff involves scraping for hours and FOIA requests, which to me makes zero sense. Govt spending should be EXTREMELY visible to its constituents, and even more so where the spending is going.
I think if people could SEE their tax dollars getting lit on fire in real time things might change quicker. So far i've added 113k more centers in 15 different states, awaiting funding data from FOIA req's and any good anons who care to share

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

@Google should make a dedicated Google Finance app. The new web UI is awesome, but I want a native experience on my phone. Who is building this?
